     Faith was born to the late Llewellyn (Lefty) and Ruth Walters on April 13, 1927 in Lorain, Ohio.               
     She graduated from Lorain Senior High School in 1945 and she maintained a wonderful, lifelong friendship with a group of her classmates affectionately known as “The Club”.
     She married her high school sweetheart; the late Andy Laidlaw on April 23, 1945 and enjoyed a loving 57 year marriage. She and Andy traveled extensively as part of both Andy’s career and throughout their retirement. Faith was a longtime, loyal member of the Christian Temple Disciples of Christ church in Lorain and later worshiped at the United Methodist church of Avon, Ohio. She was known by all as a uniquely kind and honest woman who was always focused on how she could help others. Her smile and sense of humor was always visible.
